Looking back, we now have half a century of casualties of American saints because that warning was hushed. Think about how many dangers and offenses would have been prevented had Witness Lee heeded this warning.

I often tell others that the only reason we should ever raise our voice is for danger. When others are in danger, we have an obligation to speak up. This forum allows us to "raise our voices."

Some are intimating that we are facing God's judgment, for judging our brother, and "God's humble bondslave" at that. I would say rather we would be judged if we knew something was wrong, and kept our mouths shut. Our experiences are for something. Let's not pretend they never happened.

And no, I didn't lose money on Timothy Lee's Daystar, but others did, and testified. I also wasn't groped by Philip Lee, but others were, and it has been covered on this forum.

Witness Lee wasn't qualified to be elder in a local assembly, per Titus 1:6. Am I "wallowing in gall" to bring this up? If someone had brought this up, and Witness Lee was properly demoted, I wouldn't have to. Nobody did, and he wasn't, so I bring it up.
